A dog's life

One can understand if you decide to sit out yet another airing of "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" (7 p.m., KSTP, Ch. 5), but if you must wait up in the pumpkin patch with Linus again, you might want to bring your iPad along. That's because none other than @Snoopy will be tweeting throughout the episode.

"The Neighbors" (7:30 p.m., KSTP, Ch. 5) may not be the smartest sitcom on the air, but what's wrong with a little sci-fi silliness, especially when it's being delivered by Simon Templeman and Toks Olagundoye, two perfectly absurd actors who are clearly having a ball playing confused aliens stationed in the suburbs? Good, clean fun.

Scare tactics

If you thought the Lifetime network was a platform for only plucky women, you haven't met the station's newest star, the Rev. Bob Larson. He's also known as "The Real Exorcist" (10 p.m., Lifetime), the demons' worst enemy. In this premiere episode, Larson travels to Oregon and Georgia to chase monsters living in human bodies.
